Apple Pencil (USB-C) is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 13,000, brand new and sealed, with tilt sensitivity, a hidden USB-C port and a flat side that holds magnetically to the iPad. The Apple Pencil (USB-C) pairs and charges through a USB-C cable plugged into the iPad, then rests on the tablet's magnetic edge for storage. It works with the iPad (10th generation), the iPad (A16), the iPad mini (6th generation and A17 Pro), every iPad Air from the 4th generation onward, and every iPad Pro 11-inch and 12.9-inch or 13-inch with Face ID. Find it at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for university students, sales teams, estate agents and logistics coordinators, the Apple Pencil (USB-C) handles lecture notes, signed delivery forms, client checklists and quick diagrams. A finger is clumsy for writing, and cheap generic styluses skip strokes or lag behind your hand. The Apple Pencil (USB-C) writes with the tight, low-lag precision of other Apple Pencil models. It skips pressure sensitivity, which most note-takers never miss. An estate agent in Kilimani can have a tenant sign an inventory form on screen, and a Kenyatta University student can annotate slides during a lecture.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push whichever stylus has the biggest margin, Mascom International matches the Apple Pencil (USB-C) to your exact iPad first. Buyers throughout Kenya report that owners of the iPad (A16) and iPad (10th generation) find this the simplest pick, because it plugs straight into the tablet's USB-C port with no adapter. If you draw seriously, our staff will point you to the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (2nd generation) or Apple Pencil (1st generation), depending on your iPad. Visit the store to test the Apple Pencil (USB-C) or order on WhatsApp with pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Apple Pencil (USB-C)
How much does the Apple Pencil (USB-C) cost in Kenya?
The Apple Pencil (USB-C) costs KSh 13,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. That includes a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. It charges from the iPad through a USB-C cable, and the iPad's own cable does the job, so there is no extra adapter to buy. It matches the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and Apple Pencil (1st generation) on price and costs KSh 5,000 less than the Apple Pencil Pro.
Which iPads support the Apple Pencil (USB-C)?
The Apple Pencil (USB-C) works with the iPad (10th generation), the iPad (A16), the iPad mini (6th generation) and iPad mini (A17 Pro), and the iPad Air (4th and 5th generations and M2, M3 and M4 models). It also works with the iPad Pro 11-inch (1st to 4th generations), the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd to 6th generations) and the iPad Pro (M4 and M5). It does not work with the iPad (9th generation) or any older iPad, which need the Apple Pencil (1st generation).
Should I buy the Apple Pencil (USB-C) or the Apple Pencil (1st generation) for a standard iPad?
On the iPad (10th generation) or iPad (A16), both cost KSh 13,000 and the choice comes down to pressure versus convenience. The Apple Pencil (1st generation) senses pressure, so lines thicken as you press, but it needs a USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter to pair and charge. The Apple Pencil (USB-C) has no pressure sensitivity, plugs straight into the iPad's cable and stores magnetically on its edge. Pick the Apple Pencil (1st generation) for drawing, and the Apple Pencil (USB-C) for notes and forms.
How do you charge the Apple Pencil (USB-C) during power cuts?
The Apple Pencil (USB-C) charges through a USB-C cable from the iPad, a phone charger or a power bank, so a KPLC outage never leaves it stranded. Slide back the cap on its end to reveal the port. Any USB-C power bank used for your phone on a long matatu ride will top it up as well. Attaching it to the iPad's magnetic edge stores it safely but does not charge it, so plug it in when the battery runs low.
Can the Apple Pencil (USB-C) fill in eCitizen and KRA forms?
The Apple Pencil (USB-C) supports Scribble, which turns handwriting in any text field into typed text, including eCitizen and KRA iTax pages opened in Safari. You can write a name, ID number or address straight into the box instead of opening the keyboard. It also signs PDFs in Mail and Files, so a lease, delivery note or bank form can be signed and returned without printing. Sales teams in Industrial Area use this to close paperwork at a client's desk.
Does the Apple Pencil (USB-C) support hover?
Hover works with the Apple Pencil (USB-C) on supported iPads, which preview a mark or a brush just before the tip touches the glass. Supported models include the iPad Pro (M4 and M5), the M2 iPad Pro, the iPad Air (M2, M3 and M4) and the iPad mini (A17 Pro). On the iPad (10th generation), iPad (A16) and older Air and mini models, the Apple Pencil (USB-C) writes normally without hover. Ask us on WhatsApp whether your iPad supports it.
Who should buy the Apple Pencil (USB-C) and who should skip it?
Buy the Apple Pencil (USB-C) if you own an iPad (10th generation) or iPad (A16) and mainly write notes, sign forms or mark up documents. Skip it if you draw or paint seriously: on the iPad Pro (M4 or M5), iPad Air (M2 or later) or iPad mini (A17 Pro), choose the Apple Pencil Pro. On a 2018-2022 iPad Pro, iPad Air (4th or 5th generation) or iPad mini (6th generation), the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) adds pressure at the same price.
Is the Apple Pencil (USB-C) good for university students in Kenya?
The Apple Pencil (USB-C) suits university students who take handwritten notes on an iPad and want a genuine Apple stylus for KSh 13,000. Students at the University of Nairobi, JKUAT and Moi University can write on lecture slides, highlight PDFs and sketch quick diagrams for revision. Notes stay searchable, because the iPad reads handwriting. Students in drawing-heavy courses such as architecture or fine art benefit from pressure sensitivity and should consider a different Apple Pencil.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Writing Features
- Tilt sensitivity — angle the tip to shade broader areas, the way the side of a graphite pencil leaves a wide grey stroke.
- No pressure sensitivity — line thickness stays the same however hard you press, which suits handwriting, signatures and diagrams.
- Low lag — strokes appear close to the tip as you write, so notes feel natural instead of trailing behind your hand.
- Palm rejection — rest your wrist on the screen while writing, and the iPad reads only the tip of the pencil.
- Scribble — handwrite into any text box, from a search bar to an online form, and the iPad converts it to typed text.
- Hover on supported iPads — preview where a stroke will land before the tip touches, on M2 and later iPad Pro and Air models.
Compatibility
- iPad (10th generation) and iPad (A16) — plugs directly into the tablet's own USB-C cable, with no adapter required.
- iPad mini (6th generation) and iPad mini (A17 Pro) — a compact pairing for doctors, field engineers and NGO field staff.
- iPad Air (4th and 5th generations, M2, M3 and M4) — pairs across every iPad Air with a USB-C port.
- iPad Pro 11-inch, 12.9-inch and 13-inch with Face ID — every model from 2018 through the M5 generation pairs with it.
- Not compatible with the iPad (9th generation) or older models, which still use the Lightning-based Apple Pencil (1st generation).
- Check your model under Settings, General, About on the iPad, then confirm it with our team before you order.
Build and Charging
- USB-C port under a sliding cap — slide the end back to plug in, then close it again to keep out road dust.
- Cable pairing — connect it to the iPad with a USB-C cable once, and Bluetooth pairing completes on screen automatically.
- Cable charging — top it up from the iPad, a USB-C phone charger or a power bank, which helps during KPLC outages.
- Magnetic side storage — it clings to the iPad's edge for carrying, then switches into a sleep state to save battery.
- Matte white finish with one flat side — a steady grip in warm hands, and no rolling off desks or lecture benches.
Inclusions and Care
- No cable in the box — use the USB-C cable that came with your iPad to pair and charge the pencil.
- Battery status — the iPad's battery widget shows the pencil's charge level, so you can plug in before it runs flat.
- Sealed Apple retail box — an intact seal confirms a genuine, first-owner unit that nobody has paired before you.
- Mascom International warranty — 6 months of cover for manufacturing defects, handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Tested at handover on request — bring your iPad to the store and our staff will pair it at the counter.
Package Contents
The sealed box contains the Apple Pencil (USB-C) and Apple's printed documentation. No cable or power adapter is included, because the USB-C cable that came with your iPad pairs and charges it. If you need a spare cable or a USB-C charger, Mascom International sells genuine Apple options separately. Every unit leaves our store in its original, unopened Apple packaging.
